"Buffy the Vampire Slayer" was one of my favorite shows. In fact, it's probably on my top ten of all time list, so I might've been a little predisposed to liking this product just because the name makes me smile and think about the brilliance that was Buffy and Angel and Cordelia and Willow and Xander... Well, I'm happy to say that Lush has done the show proud because Buffy the Backside Slayer is fantastic. It's basically a bar of cocoa butter with scrubby bits (ground rice and almond and abduki beans) in it that you use to exfoliate. The best part is that even though it's really great at getting rid of dead skin (much like Buffy got rid of vampires), it's not drying, so you don't wind up looking like one of the undead yourself when you get out of the tub (yeah, that one was a stretch, but I'm going with a vampire theme here, so just work with me). I also love it because it makes my skin so soft after using it that I don't even need to use lotion, so if you look at it that way, I'm actually saving money by scrubbing with this. A few things - make sure you're really wet when you use it, otherwise it's kind of scratchy and the experience isn't nearly as pleasant. It's also worth noting that since the bar is mostly cocoa butter, it melts easily, so don't leave your Lush bag sitting in your car in the middle of summer unless you want your purchase to melt and disappear, much like Angel did when Buffy sent him to that hell dimension at the end of season 2. Wow, I know entirely too much about this show...
